Basic bolt-on 2010 SS are making consistant 430whp+, heads/cam are doing over 500 ezsauce. I don’t predict this happening with the Ford. One thing I don’t get, why did GM put the L99 in the Auto and the LS3 in the M6. Gay. The L99’s are only putting down standard LS1 numbers ☹ ---

Probably because of the bellhousing design on the auto tranny. Cool pics/story JC. ---

Both motors are LSx based Gen IV motors, they are dimensionally identical. L99 has displacement on demand though. I would be willing to bet that they used the more economical motor to keep it from being taxed as a “Gas Guzzler”. The new Camaro is heavy, and the manual LS3 version had just enough MPG to avoid the tax. ---

Awesome stuff man. I’m a bit disappointed to hear the Dodge cars didn’t perform so swell, considering I’m a MOPAR fan myself. But it looks like you had fun and those are some sick cars. ---

Update… Kind of a bummer, the Lotto people vetoed nearly all of the balls to the walls tire smokey drifting action. It’s a conservative demographic and the commercial is supposed to appear to be on the “street,” so you can understand why. ☹ I’m trying to see if I can get a few raw clips of the fun stuff they didnt use. Either way here’s the finished product: 15 sec: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwTqcf9FfrA&feature=related](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwTqcf9FfrA&feature=related) Full 30 sec: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3QqqAxBz24&feature=related](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3QqqAxBz24&feature=related) Behind the scenes - I saw my face!

Sounds like a pretty lame excuse for not knowing how to drift. ---
